Re: note 92377 added to function.json-encode

Robert; Under normal circumstances, large blocks of code - such as what you've contributed below - would be removed from the online manual notes, as that's more of a place for small snippets and hints to other users. We try to discourage providing full solutions or large bits of code. Further, we do not generally allow folks to provide links to their websites or other attempts at self-promotion. However, I opine that the code you've provided would be a great addition to the official examples, but too large to include in the page (and beyond the scope of the documentation). So this would be one of the rare cases where, if you have a website or blog where you could host this, we would allow you to post a direct link. Both of your note contributions are going to be deleted at this time, but at your convenience, please reply-all to this message and let us know the link where this code can be found online. Then post it to the same area of the documentation as these contributions were originally placed. I will attach a memo to your note to preserve it and save it from deletion (so long as the link remains active and hosts only your code, and no political or SPAM messages, of course). Thanks for your generous contribution. It will continue to serve the community and to make the official documentation better for thousands of folks and years to come.
